You can have an enlarged prostate without cancer,he needs to see a urologist about drugs or surgery to fix it before kidney damage occurs from clogged urethra.He probably has Benign Prostate Hypertrophy,due to old age.(if not checked,it can ruin your love life)And it gets more painful with time.

He could possibly have prostatitis or a urinary tract infection. I would call his doctor just to be on the safe side though. If everything checks out OK, then consider maya abdominal massage as an alternative treatment for the enlarged prostate. MAM will help to bring health to his prostate and correct the enlargement to avoid any further issues. I’ve seen great results with the men I’ve treated with MAM.

Blood in the urine is a sign of infection.

I presume the doctor’s test was a PSA? It is entirely possible for that test to be near 0 and still have prostate cancer. And just as possible for it to be high and not have the cancer. Those are anomalies, but they are fairly frequent. It is entirely possible to do a DRE (digital rectal exam) and feel nothing that indicates cancer, and the cancer is really there (that’s my situation). The only way to know for sure is to have a biopsy done, it’s uncomfortable but tolerable, and it is likely to help identify the source of the enlargement if it is not cancer related. Your husband needs to see a Urologist as soon as possible. Even if there is no urgent problem (well the blood says there is doesn’t it), there are things which can be done to forestall future problems.
Also, personal advice here, find a urology practice where they see a lot of patients. Many solo practices just don’t see enough guys and enough variety to pick up on all the variations. Maybe your insurance plan can help you find a "center of excellence", it will be worth it.

Personal experience, eh? Working with a center of excellence now, after being disappointed with several local doctors.
Blood in the urine can indicate a prostate problem or a bladder infection. The blood test for prostate cancer is by checking the PSA level. This is notoriously unreliable and can give both false positives and false negatives. At 48 your husband is statistically more susceptible to prostatic cancer, but it is by no means a certainty that he will get it.
Any unexplained bleeding, or internal bleeding should always be reported to the doctor for investigation. The doctor may suggest either a cystoscopy – where a small camera is inserted through the penis into the bladder to check for infection – or else a prostate biopsy to get a more reliable check for cancer.
If it is prostate cancer then the sooner it is diagnosed the sooner treatment can start and the better the chances of curing it.

My husband is 48 years old, has enlarged prostate, tested negative for cancer, but now has blood in urine?
My husband now has blood in urine now and then, no pain, but noticed it a while back. Should he be concerned? His doctor is aware of his enlarged prostate but was negative for prostate cancer. I read that the blood in urine is a symptom of enlarged prostate – so should we be alarmed? or should he go see a urologist at this point?
